You're missing out on a lot if you're limiting yourself to SPDIF.
What front end and DAC do you have?
reliable DDC
I'm in need of a good DDC for a DAC that only takes SPDIF input. So I need USB > SPDIF. I own a Gustard U18 and it's working, but I've read a lot of stuff about reliability problems with Gustard or Chi-fi in general. The only other audiophile level DDC I know of is the Denafrips, also Chinese. Are there any audiophile level DDCs made elsewhere in the world (say, USA?)

I think the best solution for you is the Denafrips Gaia https://www.denafrips.com/gaia If you go with the Mutec MC3+ USB to get the best out of it you will need to attach a 10Mhz master clock, the internal clock is trash. Cybershaft in Japan make great clocks, no need to spend more. |
